by Staff
REAL Software has released REALbasic 2.1a24. REALbasic is a development language designed to make programming easier. REAL stresses that alpha releases are NOT considered full working products, and are intended to be used for testing. According to REAL Software:
REAL Software is pleased to announce the latest development release of REALbasic 2.1a24. These alpha releases are for testing purposes only and are not considered the current release of REALbasic. Projects saved in alpha releases of 2.1 cannot be opened in REALbasic 2.0.2. You should not use alpha releases for mission-critical development.
